"…Living only for the moment, turning our full attention to the pleasures of the moon, the snow, the cherry blossoms and the maple leaves; singing songs, drinking wine, diverting ourselves just floating, floating….refusing to be disheartened, like a gourd floating along with the river current; this is what we call the floating world…” Asai Ryoi, in Ukiyo Monogatari (Tales of the Floating World, 1661)

Tuesday Evening Notes
The weather is almost perfect down here. The trip down went very smooth. Dinner was excellent (see pictures below). After dinner I watched the sun fall into the Pacific Ocean. Circled back to the hotel to goof around for a while. Following this entry I am going down to the hotel bar for a nightcap. An auspicious start for vacation.
